what is colonisisation
Answers
Answer:
Colonization, or colonisation refers to large-scale population movements where the migrants maintain strong links with their or their ancestors' former country, gaining significant privileges over other inhabitants of the territory by such links.[1][2]
Colonization refers strictly to migration such as settler colonies in the United States or in Australia, trading posts and to plantations while the concept of colonialism requires taking into account the existing indigenous peoples of "new territories". One recent example of mass colonization has seen the spread of tens of millions of people from Europe to new settlements all over the world. In many settled colonies, Western European settlers (supplemented by Central European, Eastern European, Asian and African people) eventually formed a large majority of the population after killing, assimilating or driving away indigenous peoples. Examples include the Americas, Australia and New Zealand. These colonies were occasionally called[by whom?] "neo-Europes".[3] In other places, Western European settlers formed minority groups, which often used more advanced weaponry to dominate the people initially living in their places of settlement.[4]
When Britain started to settle in Australia, New Zealand and various other smaller islands, they often regarded the landmasses as terra nullius, meaning "empty land" in Latin.[5] Due to the absence of European farming techniques, Europeans deemed the land unaltered by man and therefore treated it as uninhabited, despite the presence of indigenous populations. In the 19th century, laws and ideas such as Mexico's General Colonization Law and the United States' manifest destiny doctrine encouraged further colonization of the Americas, already started in the 15th century.
From their early development in Africa, members of Homo sapiens have persistently wandered or sailed into new territories, eventually colonizing almost all the globe (with a few exceptions such as parts of Antarctica). The alternatives to the colonization of "new lands" include ignoring economic opportunities or laying waste previously habitable areas.
